Nova - "Add rule to security group" operation is not documented

[Jamie Hannaford]

From what I understand, there is a one-to-many mapping between a Security Group and a Rule, but right now there are no documented operations to create this association.

It looks like POST /os-security-group-rules with "parent_group_id" set will add a rule to a specific security group, but I had to follow the debug trace in nova client to understand how it works.

Per my research, what I found out is this:

  1) os-security-group-rules is not documented on either v2 nor v2.1 Nova api-site.
  2) os-security-group-rules only has Create (POST) and Delete (DELETE) methods.

I'll make and post a patch to add a description about os-security-group-rules (Create and Delete) to both v2 and v2.1 api-sites.

         Nova api-site.
      2) os-security-group-rules only has Create (POST) and Delete
         (DELETE) methods.
